Award winning products such as the HT2-Matador surface mounted sliding automatic bollard system, and the shallow mount HT1-Raptor have revolutionised the world of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM).
Heald's HT1-Raptor security barrier combines the high security of a roadblocker with the flexibility of a shallow mounted bollard. Tested to both PAS68 and ASTM standards, it not only halted a 7.5 tonne truck travelling at 80 kph (50mph) but continued to function afterwards.
The Raptor can operate as a standalone unit or as part of an array to secure an opening of virtually any size. It has an extremely small footprint and requires an excavation depth of only 500 mm.
